assuming you ask about Hikaru Genji (and not the videogame of which I know nil), I'd say...hmmm...readily available...*more hmmm*...Dior Homme? Polished, melancholy, not taken too seriously by the "elders"/serious, but lovely all the same, with an idealistic streak and quite appealing to women. Perhaps rather modern though for such an old tale.

Ooops, I'm so sorry! You could have taken advantage of it. Anyway, there will be more opportunities another time, I guess. Hope you're very well and things are looking bright for you. (Off to go read too!) :-)
